ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for loading and/or unloading water vessels including providing a pair of floating elongate pontoon members and locating the same substantially parallel to and spaced from each other substantially perpendicular to the edge of a dock or quay so as to define an area between the pontoon members for accommodating a water vessel. The vessel which is to be loaded or unloaded is directed between the pontoon members. Mobile crane apparatus is supported on the pontoon members on either side of the vessel and travels along the length of the pontoon members, and has hoisting apparatus which horizontally extends over the width of the vessel. In another embodiment, an elongate pontoon member is located substantially parallel to the edge of the dock or quay defining a vessel accommodating area between them. Mobile crane apparatus is movably supported on the pontoon member and quay on either side of the vessel and has a hoisting apparatus horizontally extending over the width of the vessel.
